4. What can I expect from online courses? I’ve never done online education before.

You can expect the same quality theological education offered in an online format as you would expect to receive at our Louisville campus. A high level of self-discipline is required to complete course work in this non-traditional format. See question five below for more detail about studying online with Boyce College.

5. How do online courses work?

Students registered for online courses access their classes through MySBTS. Canvas is our course management system, the online classroom and is the place where students access course syllabi, view lectures, hand in assignments, write tests, and complete all course work.

Enrolled students will find required textbooks listed in each course syllabus on Canvas. Students are responsible to purchase their books and Lifeway.com is a great place to start. Our on-campus LifeWay bookstore is always ready to assist you and can be reached by e-mail at bookstore@sbts.edu or by phone at 1-502-897-4506.

8. What’s the interactivity of classes like?

There is a wide range of interactivity in our courses just like in our on-campus courses. Some courses have high levels of interaction and less lecture content and others have less interaction and more lecture content.

9.Will the professors know me? How about other like-minded students?

Students will have access to the professor through online interaction and email. Many courses include interaction with other students through discussion forums.
